This article focuses on the control center of each human body: the brain. We
will point out the pivotal role of the cerebral vasculature and how its complex
mechanisms may vary between subjects. We then emphasize a specific acute
pathological state, i.e., acute ischemic stroke, and show how medical imaging
and its analysis can be used to define the treatment. We show how the
core-penumbra concept is used in practice using mismatch criteria and how
machine learning can be used to make predictions of the final infarct, either
via deconvolution or convolutional neural networks.
